I'm a newbie - I just bought an ipad2. It comes with the power adaptor, but does this have to charge thru the computer or can it plug from the ipad directly into a wall socket? Sorry for the dumb question.

You can do either..you have a USB cable that plugs into the iPad and can be plugged into a computer for sync'ing. You also have a small wall wart that has a USB plug on it, use that to charge the iPad from the wall socket..

Your box should look something like that..the plug is the white block there..
